How does Livery compare to Zoom Webinar?
If you’re ready to turn your livestreams into an engaging experience that converts, you’ve probably considered Zoom and Livery. But which platform is the better choice to make it happen?
Here are the major differences between Livery and Zoom for interactive live video:
pricing​
Zoom is much more expensive than Livery​
Zoom’s Video SDK pricing is based on a per-minute price. Assuming one would offer 3 live events per month, for 1.000 participants during 9 hours, the costs for using Zoom Video SDK would be around €4.900. If using Livery, the costs will be €1.315 i.e. a reduction of more than 70%. Calculate the monthly costs of your specific situation using our transparent pricing configurator.

scale
With Livery, scalability is no problem at all
Zoom Webinar scales up to 50k viewers. However, if you are looking for a solution to reach a large(r) audience you will need a different alternative.
Livery is based on the infrastructure of existing CDN’s i.e. scaling up for large audiences or to multiple regions is instantly available in a cost efficient way. Therefore, Livery scales up to 1M viewers or more. So if you are really after large volumes you know where to find us.
monetization
Livery enables you to add any monetization model to your live stream
Livery enables all her clients to make money in any way they choose. Regardless if it is with your own ads in your streams or offering live in-video commerce, with Livery it’s possible. And the nice thing: without paying any revenue shares nor having to justify the actual content / topic of your stream. After all, you are in control.
Intergration
User flow, interface and experience
A big disadvantage of Zoom Webinar is the user flow: viewers would first need to access Zoom, and you will not be able to integrate the video within your own environment.
With Livery’s end-to-end solution you can easily integrate live video in any website or app, making it a seamless user experience.
Next, Zoom’s user interface is fairly rigid and not very much tailored to third party localisation. With Livery, you will be able to adjust the interface
interactivity
Start adding interactive features to your live stream​
One of the cornerstones of Livery is offering interactive overlays on top of your livestreams. Although Zoom Webinar provides the option to offer some interactivity, e.g. adding chat or ratings, we believe that audience interaction is more than just that.
Livery offers ready-made building blocks which enable you to add interactions in just a few clicks. Think about gamification, e-commerce functionalities, Q&A (incl moderation / filter option), predictions and your own advertisements. In addition, the Livery CMS also provides a presenter view so your hosts could use real-time feedback loops during their presentation.
